Cupcake Heaven!!!

On Sunday I taught my first Stampin' up! Class!! It went really well!

We made a gift box for 4 cupcakes, made 4 cupcake wraps and decorated the cakes to go in the box with rice paper toppers using the flights of the butterfly stamp set and punch!!












I think everyone was really happy with what they had made!! And what a lovely bunch of people came!!

My next class is on 3rd july if you fancy joining in some fun!!
